I'm sure we will cross this bridge when we come to it. 

I'd really be in favor of -fhonor-std on by default though. I believe it 
is the consensus of this list to start using std:: as soon as possible. 
Because libstdc++-v3's stdexcept.cc depends on exception, which is part 
of libgcc.a, the c++ library and libgcc.a will have to be compiled with 
flags that use the same ABI. As std:: changes mangling, this is one of 
the things that I would hope to have on by default. (Or else we will have 
to do something like the relibgcc flag, which is not very elegant.)
